Am I supposed to get the recruit Peter achievement when he first joins or after I can control him?

Pela ltima vez, finalizei o game sem morrer em batalha alguma. Difcil, mas possvel! :) Falta agora uma terceira vez para obter as duas conquistas restantes.

Anyone know where the ancient tower book is?

Nice set but i would advise to save often because for me achievements for obtaining mithril are activating on 2nd or 3rd try after reloading.
AngelPhenix 3 Oct 2018 15:24
For me the mithril ones simply activated some time after I've got them. Just got to be patient, or report the cheevos so someone can fix that hah

This was a fun set. The no deaths on the field ones towards the end of the game added a nice challenge.

What a great improvement compared to the first one, everything feels bigger and better. Playing on Super difficulty for the achievements forced me to grind a couple of hours during the 2/3 mark but other than that it's really a smooth experience from start to finish. The "no-death" battles require a bit of turtling, especially on Super where almost everything two-shot you, but it's only for a couple of maps. Truly a great classic that everyone should at least play once.

Mastered! Thanks for a good set!

High quality set for a high-quality game. Thanks!
manakate 20 May 2023 19:34
Thanks for the set! The way I routed this forced me to play in a way that I didn't quite play before (by leveling everyone to 40 prior to promotion) but it was much more fun that way :P
Tekish11 23 May 2023 03:50
I feel like this set could use a revision. The "Promote X to Y" cheevs don't add much, and the battle challenges such as "Beat X battle without dying" are sparsely spread throughout the game without rhyme or reason.

Close to the mastery, the only battle thats given me unique challenge is fighting the Kraken without dying.
Tybis 22 Jun 2023 00:40
Agree, the promotion achievements are all really just free points once you play far enough, and you have to promote and reset to get both options for the characters with dual options anyway.

i only wish this was compatible with the triple digit hack to display the ?? stats as actual numbers.
Scott 1 May 2024 15:16
Where is that hack available? We should be able to link it, been looking for it and can't find it

Mastered! needed to play a separate game up to the first 1/3 due to my mistake of missing the polca and kraken no casualties challenge, maybe its just me but i think it might be easier to track if they are next to the progression. Tentacruel next to release the kraken.

Mastered. I love the fact that at 42 years of age I can go back to a game I grew up on and do achievements for it. It wasn't as challenging as I expected. Here's how I did it: 1. Pick your team, mine was: Sarah, Chester, Jaha, Kazin, Karna(all special promo), Slade(Jippo in the version I played as a kid), Peter, May, Luke, Tyrin, Frayja(AURA 4 & mystery staff). 2. Start grinding levels early, grinded in the ruins south of Ribble before taking on Kraken, Fairy Forest on Lesser Demon until 27 then protect ring spam until 40, also spamming Sarah healing she was level 45 by the end. Again Lesser Demon until 6-7 promo then Mist Demon in Fairy Forest until 22-23 promo all the while spamming healing with Sarah/Karna/Frayja to boost their levels 45/35/50. Final battle on super difficulty wasn't difficult with these tactics. The only real hurdle I found was with the Kraken and a couple of the no deaths.

The promote x to y achievements were included to encourage 2 things: 1. That players who normally always, say, make Karna a monk try the other job (for once). 2. For players who don't want to reload their save, it's something to do on a second playthrough.

Can I use the config option to turn on Super Difficulty and get the achievements? Or do I need to beat the game once to use it? If I use the config option to play super difficulty do I need to reactivate it every time I load my game or does it stay turned on?
mmart32 10 May 2025 11:05
This is one of those games that you could get everything on one play through on super difficulty, but it’s probably faster to do two play throughs and get all the non super difficulty achievements on normal. There were a couple of battles I had to do like 20 times so the right person could get the killing blow and it was like the game knew I was going for that and targeted the character in question.
